Moonlining? Never heard that one before this truly elegant video popped along. The skier: Valentin Delluc. And he’s managed to capture some real magic in this moment. Ordinary description doesn’t do it justice. If you must know how, you can find it below the youtube link. If you’re like me, you may prefer not knowing….

About six years ago, Canadian freeskier JP Auclair teamed up with Sherpa Cinema to produce one of the most memorable ski videos I’ve ever seen. It appeared with the ordinary title: JP Auclair Street Segment (from All.I.Can) but it was anything but ordinary. I refuse to spoil it for you here, because if you haven’t…

Film Review “Wasfia” There is something so refreshing when you find an adventure film as well made as “Wasfia.” Named for its intrepid world explorer Wasfia Nazreen, the film played recently at MountainFilm in Telluride and appeared online last week on Nat Geo’s youtube channel, which recognized her as one of their Emerging Explorers. The…

Okay, we know. It’s summer. Who has time for adventure films? You’re either on the road, or gearing up, so why now? Oh please! Since when don’t we have time for a few minutes of high-value INSPIRATION? To pound the pulse in our veins? Stoke the belly, and maybe even fill our chests? From 5Points,…

Okay! We’re going! We’ve only been hearing about 5Point Film Festival for years. Now we’re finally committed. Egged on by our colleague Fitz Cahall, we are super-stoked to make the trip out in April. From what we hear, this is fast becoming THE preferred venue for new adventure films. And has a strong, filmmaker friendly…

This is our official teaser for “Tom Sawyer on the Danube” the first adventure film from Xpedition.TV. Last Summer… While we were running our first adventure film competition, a curious little film came in. It was a short hitchhiking venture from Istanbul, home to the UK. Nothing remarkable, I can hear you saying, people hitch…

One of our favorite explorers Dave Cornthwaite has done it again! Last night, he completed his 9th of the 25 human powered expeditions he has envisioned for his EXPEDITION 1000 PROJECT. Number 9 is now in the books! This one on a new sail-powered recumbent bicycle called a “Whike” (wind + bike). The expedition took…

There are winners, and there are champions. And today – the very first day that women ski jumpers have ever competed in the Olympics – seems like the perfect day to single out a champion. “My goal is to make the Olympic team, for girls,” declared ski jumper Lindsey Van in a tv interview back…

As if we needed any more reason to love this filmmaker, Seb Montaz delivers this extraordinary vision of possibility. He and his crew of gravity defying “skyliners” decide to try highlining between two hot air balloons. Has anyone else done this? Are you kidding?! Has anyone else even IMAGINED it? Don’t think so. But that’s…

If you haven’t been watching Dan Milner’s Trail Ninja series on EpicTV, it’s pretty friggin’ good. I am not one for travel videos, but this series is soooooo much more. Dan is a Brit, relocated from England to the mountains of Chamonix, and has made a career photographing what’s out there is some pretty…
